Hey everyone how's it goin got a quick question for ya I got my 88 ramcharger has a 318 that I converted to carb has a 4brrl edelbrock carb with a low rise dual plain intake has long tube headers with 373 gears it 4wd has 33 1250 15 tires I put a sum 6900 cam in her and it's a good cam but I'm wanting more lope anyone know of a good cam for off roading with some lope to it I have heard the sum 6901 cam but I don't want to buy it and not like the results thanks in advanced.

 

For off roading, you want low end torque..... cams of that nature tend to give a pretty smooth idle though......

 

That's what I keep hearing it has good power and torque now but yeah it's to smooth of a idle for me I might have to give up some low end torque for for a rpm cam to get some lope

 

That will suck off-road..... it can work good, or, it can sound good, but, it's not gonna do both.......

 

Yeah it does do good now has power and torque for days is it a dodge thing for low end torque smooth idle or a 318 thing

 

The lope comes from the cam (timing/duration) because it makes power in the upper rpm range(3000+RPM). Just to get the sound doesn't make any sense.

 

A lopey idle just sounds good and I wasn't looking to do it for sound that's why I'm on this forum asking if there is a cam that has low end torque with a lopey idle

 

Answer: no.

 

There are plenty of cams that will give you both, as long as you don't get carried away. The 6901 is a good choice it will give you a slight lope, and still have plenty of bottom and mid range power. Especially with the 3.73. I'm runniy it in my 85, 9.0:1 318. Basically the same set up you have. Using it till bodywork is done, then the little 318 gets stroked. Hope this helps.

 

That's actually a fairly mild cam.... (assuming the Summit 6901..... as you didn't specify) If you have a lumpy idle, I would be looking for other causes......
